Saw the movie and read the book. I didn't really like the way the movie ended and prefered the book ending. I also didn't like how Lily had a much smaller role. Wasn't SHE the one who was supposed to get into an accident and not Emily? Emily got mono in the book!

I loved the book! I also read her other book "Everyone Worth Knowing". If you like "The Devil Wears Prada" then you'll like this one. This one is about a girl who gets a job with a PR company in New York and basically her job is to organize parties and make sure she is seen at them. He personal life is invaded by the papparazzi when she is "seen dating" New York's "It Man".

I can't wait to see "The Devil Wears Prada" movie.

I liked her other book as well.
@ TauAlumna, yeah in the book Lily and Andy lived together, Lily was working on her PhD in Russian, had a pretty severe drinking problem, had the car accident that really prompted Andy to realize her priorities and such, etc.

Saw it last night with the husband who actually enjoyed it.

Their offices are in the building that hubby and I used to work in together!

As I watched some of the ridiculous things that the boss wanted, I thought, memories....I've had 2 bosses like her and the things they think they should get are obscene.

Question - in all the commercials they showed the Meryl line about "where's my coffee" with the ending - "did she go to Rwanda for the beans or something?". In the movie she said "did she die or something?". I thought the Rwanda line was a lot funnier, but maybe they were trying to be pc or something. Regardless, why would they constantly show advertisements with a line they cut?

In case you didn't know, Lauren Weisberger is a sorority woman. More specifically, she's an AEPhi from Cornell!

She's also a great writer! I just finished the book and really enjoyed it.

I started to read the book but could not finish it -- too girly for me! But I LOVED the movie! Soooo good! I left in such a good mood.
